That is a stupid straw man and you know it. Knowing what your software stack does it not impossible, people are just lazy and want to pump out resume enhancing

  > Knowing what your software stack does it not impossible No. It's literally impossible. There is no one working at a startup today who understands their entire stack, from hardware all the way up to web code. Not even the highest-paid people at Facebook could claim to know that. Even the knowledge required to understand the Linux kernel, which almost every software developer works with today, is beyond almost all developers. And guess what? The world keeps turning. People build cutting-edge technical startups without knowing how every part of their stack works. There are millions of person-years of work that go into even a basic web stack. It's insane to think someone can know all of it. And the whole point of the Linux philosophy is so that you don't have to know it -- you have simple building blocks where you can understand the I/O and use them to compose something much more complex.
